At one time there were big allegations against Lionel Messi, he is not seen as much for the Argentine national team as he is for Barcelona. Critics often criticized the footballer, one of the best in history.
However, this picture has completely changed in the last few years. No matter what happens in club football, Messi is ready to make his mark for the national team. Especially after winning the Copa America last year, Messi and Argentina have come together at one point.
And whenever Messi joins the Argentina team, there is no shortage of interest from everyone else around. And that’s why the Argentine jersey makers have to make 200-300 jerseys for Messi every match. Because everyone contributes, Messi gets a jersey.
This information was given by Emiliano Martinez, one of the heroes of Argentina’s Copa America win. According to the goalkeeper, when Messi joins the national team for two matches, he has to make an average of 650 jerseys. Which exceeds 300 per match.
Emiliano said in the Amazon Prime video, “One day I asked them (the jersey maker) how many jerseys are made for Messi in each match? They said about 200 to 300 were made so that those who wanted Messi’s jersey could be given one.
He added: “We have played two international matches and they have made 750 wearable jerseys for Messi. Sponsors, players, staff, technicians – everyone wants a jersey. Because this is Messi’s jersey! ‘
Argentina has already secured World Cup tickets from Latin America. However, they still have three matches left. Albiceleste will play Venezuela on March 26 and Ecuador on March 30. The other match will be against Brazil.
